Olofsson goes to Vegas
He could have stayed in Buffalo and been forced to deal with Lindy insisting he play defense, too. Instead he went to Vegas and gets to hang with Eichel. And Zemgus is in Tampa. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/former-sabre-victor-olofsson-finds-new-home-with-jack-eichel-golden-knights/
James Reimer is 3rd goalie
He’s 36, has more than 500 games in the NHL, a .910 save percentage and 2.88 goals against average. I think that make him an upgrade over Dustin Tokarski who remains a free agent. Devin Cooley signed with the Flames. https://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-notes-james-reimer-added-to-goalie-mix-amerks-roster-filling-up/#google_vignette
Geary may be steal
It’s great to see a hometown kid get drafted, even in the 6th Round, by the Sabres but if Nathan Geary can refine his game at Michigan he may be a beast. Sabres Scouts said athletically he tested in the top 3% or draft-eligible athletes and would be in the top 5% of NHL players. Those are heady numbers if he can skate and has hands. https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/sabres/patrick-geary-happy-to-be-taken-by-hometown-team
Gilbert comes home
There’s something cool about a kid that grew up here getting a chance to come home, mid-career, and try and force his way onto the Sabres. https://www.wkbw.com/sports/sabres/dennis-gilbert-signs-with-buffalo-sa…
